## Resource

Buxton’s beach is getting a major coastal rescue—starting July 20th, a massive sand pumping project will widen the shore and build a protective dune to save homes and keep N.C. Highway 12 open, the lifeline to Hatteras Island. After recent storms flattened dunes and washed away parts of the road, Dare County is racing against time with FEMA’s $22 million support to prevent total road loss. Watch for the dredging vessel reshaping the coastline, creating a new dune at the high tide line and extending the beach toward the ocean—all in 90 days. Plus, repairs to the southernmost jetty begin in August, another 90 days of critical coastal work. This isn’t just beautification—it’s survival.
